Newspaper Page TextThe Savannah Daily Herald. THE EVACUATION OF RICHMOND. FtTLL AND ISTF.BRE9TINO DETAILS. (From the Richmond Whig. April 6•; Though we have twice before dwelt upon the subject of the evacuation of Richmond and the subsequent dread!ul conflagration, it is an exhausties-s tiietne. and so long as w< can furnish new facts in connection with it we do not tear wearying our readers. For a month past the Confederates have been evacuating ti e ciiy with all the speed and means they could command, but some how the people refused to believe that the te moval meant evacuation, anti ail declared that the measure#w ere only precautionary. Matters went on in this manner until last Sunday, the Confederates hurrying away every species of property, the people blindly refusin'" to believe that the city yvas to he given tip, and clinging to their Confederate sbinplasters as if they were things ot worth. Sunday morning Gen. Lee telegraphed to Davis, siring an account of the general at tack upon his lines, stating that the lines had beenpiciced in many places, aud that unless be could re-establish them Richmond must be given up that night. His tone was. tor the rirst time since the war, despondent. He said ids men were not coming up to their work. At eleven o’clock that morning he tec graphed that all efforts to establish his lints had been utterly unsuccessful. Immediate ly begau among the officials in Richmond a scurry nus panic. Still the majority of the people were in the dark, aud, refusing to be lieve their eves, so remained, niauy of them, till uight. The gold and silvet coin belong ing to the Louisiana banks, and recently ap propriated by the Confederate Congress, was run down to the Danville train in hot haste. So also was the specie of the Richmond banks. Then the programme for the depar ture of the officials was arranged. A num ber of trains were to leave during the ev.ll - still there was not room for all who thought it desirable to get away. Davis was to depart at seven o’clock in the evening Breckinridge elected to go off on horseback, with the last of the army, on Monday morn ing. * . At the request of the Mayor, a meeting of the Council was held on Sunday evening, at four o’clock, to consult as to what was best to be done under the circumstances. Gov ernor Smith, being invited to attend this meeting, almost convinced the Council that the Confederate army had been victorious at Petersburg, and that Richmond was not to be evacuated. He, however, managed to become better informed some hours after wards, aucl ran off on horseback some time during the night. The Council, after much discussion, passed a resolution appointing committees for each of the three wards, who should, when the fact that the city was about to be abandoned be ascertained, proceed to destroy all the alcoholic liquors in their respective wards giving the Council's receipt lor the same, to be paid tor hereafter. The object of. this step is obvious—to prevent disorder result ing from the intoxication of the troops of either army and of the evil-disposed among the citizens. The order of the Council was only partially executed; but there is no doubt that much evil was arrested. After dark the Council held another con ference, and this time being assured by the Secretary of War that the Confederate pick ets would he withdrawn from the Richmond front at three o’clock morning, and n was calculated that the city would be evacuated about night, it was determined that a committee of prominent citizens should attend the Mayor with a flag of truce to the intermediate line of fortifications, and that there lie might hand over the city to the General commanding the Army of the "James. Judge Lyons, Judge Meredith, and several members of the Council attended the Mayor. TERRIBLE SCENES IN THE CITY DURING MONDAY NIGHT. In the meantime a saturnalia had begun in the city. About dusk the government commissaries began the destruction of an im mense quantity of whiskey and brandy stor ed in the large building formerly Wallace’s wholesale grocery store, northwest corner of Pearl and Cary streets. Several hundred soldiers aud citizens gathered in front of the building, and contrived to save much of the liquor in pitchers, bottles and basina. This liquor was not slow r in manifesting itself. Tue <rowd became a mob, and began to howl.— Soon other crowds had collected in front of other government warehouses. Some at tempts were made to distribute supplies, but so frenzied had the mob become that the officers in charge, in many cases, had to flee for their lives. ' All through the night, crowds of men, ! women find children, traversed the streets, rushing from one store to auother, loading themselves with all kinds of supplies, to be thrown away immediately ou something more j tempting oll'eriug itself. ‘ Men could be met 1 rolling hogsheads of bacon, molasses, sugar, barrels ot liquor, bushels of tea and eotfee •, otners had wheelbarrows loaded with all manner oigoods, while others again had gone into the plundering business in a large way, and were operating with bags, furni ture wagons and drays. This work went on last and furious until after midnight, about which time large numbers of straggling Confederate soldiers made their appearance on the streets, and immediately set about robbing the principal stores on Main street. The scenes that then followed have already been described. There was a regular sack. THE ORDER TO FIRE THE CITY. About one o’clock Monday morning the Mayor received positive information that an outer had been issued from Ewell’s head quaricrs to tire the four principal tobacco warehouses of the city. Knowing, that the bunting of these immense buildings, situated as they were, involved the destruction of at least the business portion of the city, the Mayor forthwith despatched a committee of gentlemen to remonstrate with the Confed erate authorities against the execution of such wanton vandalism. The committee, consisting of Mr. James A. Scott and others, were referred to Major Melton, one of a large number of Adjutant and Inspector Generals who bung around the War Department, to whom, it appeared, had been entrusted the work of the incendiary. Melton would hear nothing on the subject, and characterized the statement that burning the warehouses would destroy the city as “a cowardly pretext on the part of the citizens, trumped up to en deavor to save their property for the Yan . kees.” There was nothing left fortheeiti zeus but to submit. Resistance was thought of, but the Confederate authorities guarded against such an event by holding in the city, to execute their barbarous work, two large battalions of Southern troops, every man of whom hated Virginia and Virginians, and longed for nothing more than to see the last house in the city a ruin. -. FLIGHT OF THE CONFEDERATES. Two divisions —Kershaw's ancl Curtis Lee’s with several light batteries were holding the lines below the city. Gradually, during the uight. these troops were withdrawn by brigades. The first movements were order ly enough, but towards morning the retreat became a wild flight. It was one of the ghastliest sights of this awful flight to see long liues of men, flittering like unholy shades through the crowded streets, their forms made hideous by the glare of the in cendiary fires that already began to glow. This train of fugitives poured on unbroken up Main street, down Fourteenth street, until broad daylight broke upon the scene. Before the last passed over the bridge, it had already been in flames more than an hour. GARY’S CAVALRY. It was part of the programme that Gary’s cavalry should be the last Confederate troops to leave the liues below Richmond. Tltey were to come stealthily on the city about daylight and catch up all stragglers and citi zens that they could lay hold "of and hurry them off with the army. This part of the plan was frustrated by the rapid advance of the Union torces. Gary passed up Main street not five minutes ahead of the Union column, and so far from dragging off others, he barely saved himself. THE MAYOR SCRBENDERS THE CITY. The flag of truce party attending the Mayor met the Union military authorities at the* line of fortifications just beyond Tree Hill, near the junction of the Osborne turn pike* and Newmarket road. The surrender was t >rmally made, and steps were imme diately taken to preserve order in the city, and it would have been done effectually but for the progress of the great fire then raging, which prevented anything being done until it could be gotten under. The populace, white and black, wild with excitement, were sacking everywhere on Main street. The United States troops set about staying the ravages of the flames, and threw out parties to put a stop to the pillaging. By three o'clock p. m., the fire was „ conquered, though not extinguished, and order was restored. THE EFFECT. Truly, the ways of Providence are inscru table. This burning of our goodly city would seem at first glance an unmitigated evil. But there is another view to be taken of it. It has had oue certain good effect. If there lingered in the hearts of our people one spark of affection for the Davis dynasty, this ruthless, useless, wanton handing over to the flames their fair city, their homes and altars, has extinguished it forever. Rebel Readers Missing. —The number of rebel chiefs that are hidden away, or have taken themselves to foreign lauds and to parts unknown, is legion. Stephens is strangely silent, if not missing. Albert Pike is living among the Indians on the borders of Arkansas. Keitt is killed, or otherwise re moved from the scene. Howell C’obb, in his hue violent speech—a sure premonition of his own apoplexy and the paralysis of the rebel lion—was very bitter on the young bloods of the South who had run aw T ay from the war, and said they would never*come back, as if they were not too glad to stay. Foote is in London, showing un t.h*» rind ttiieis with v.tiuuor. Pillow seems to have laid his griefs on himself, and ‘gone quietly to sleep. We hear no more of the truculent Iverson, of Georgia, nor of Hammond, of South Carolina, who is probably reflecting upon the process of the Northern “mudsills” iu their conflict with the Southern chivalry. Ward, of Georgia, has not been heard of for over a year. Slidell is ruining himself in the pleasaunces of Paris. Mason is somewhere drinking bad whiskey with George N. Saunders, who is supposed to have lelt Canada with a galiinip per iu his hat. Dudley Mann, in a French ••n/'e, swings his eye-glass in a maze of trouble, as he thinks of his poverty and his rascality. Where is the illustrious Robert M. McClane, ot Maryland, who swore that the North should never cross the border of the Susque hanna ? Where is the fiery Fayette McMul len, of Virginia ? We can fancy his gold headed cane, his fierce shrieks of rage, and his rubicund physiognomy—but we do not read ot them. Os Curry of Alabama, we hear no more. Os Babcock, and Edmundson, Charles James Fox Faulkner, the gentle Boteler, all of \ irginia, we hear no rumor even; nor yet cf Burnett, of Kentucky ; of the pliant Nichoison, of Tennessee ; of Soule, of Louisiana, and of the heavy, good-hearted GeorgeS. Houston, cf Alabama, who larded the lean earth about. Washington while re presenting his district in Congress. All silent, taciturn or missing. Soon, too soon for those who have the rebellion in charge, the silence I and absence of so many of the leaders will j be broken by the loud demand of the people of the South for the end of the war and the restoration of the Union. — Phil. Press. Jarvis, the painter, was painting Bishop and the venerable prelate began to remon strate with him upon the dissipated course into which he had fallen. Jarvis, dropping his pencil from the forehead of his portrait to the lower part of his face, said, wdth a slight motion to the reverend sitter, ‘-Will you be good enough to shut your mouth, Bishop ?” ; y painting that feature he “changed the subject.” MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.
